最有用的 1000 个英语单词

按顺序排列,每个词都附有中文释义、词性、级别,以及一个真正用到它的例句。想看多少个,在下面设置,从 50 到 1940 个都可以。练习请到各个词表页面。

这里的“最有用”是什么意思

顺序是算出来的,不是断言出来的。统计的是一个词在本站目标语言句子中出现的次数,包括每一个例句、每一条语法规则、每一篇阅读文章。由此可以看出,每个词能帮你读懂多少这里的材料。同样的计算在从哪里开始?一页有完整说明,还附有曲线,标出它从哪里开始变平。

它说明不了整个英语的情况,却完全说明了一个人在这里要走的路。所以,在本站任何一个句子里都没有出现过的词,这里就没有收:它也许是个好词,但在这里它帮你读懂不了任何东西。

这份词表不是什么:不是从语料库得出的词频表,不是从哪本教材里搬来的,也不是任何考试的官方词汇表。如果你想学到 1940 个以外:所有词表就在旁边。
